The force-applying assembly 2 includes a force-applying body 22 connected to the base 1 and a movable body 21 connected to the force-applying body 22. The movable body 21 is spaced a certain distance from the first connector 31. When the force-applying body 22 applies force to the movable body 21, the movable body 21 moves toward the first connector 31 until it contacts the prosthetic foot 4 and applies force to the prosthetic foot 4.

[0030] When using the prosthetic foot inspection machine, the prosthetic foot 4 is first connected and fixed to the first connector 31, and then the force-applying body 22 applies a force to the movable body 21, and the movable body 21 moves toward the prosthetic foot 4 until the movable body 21 contacts the prosthetic foot 4 and applies a force to the prosthetic foot 4.

[0031] Compared to existing technologies, the present invention provides a prosthetic foot inspection machine. The prosthetic foot connector assembly 3 functions to secure and limit the prosthetic foot 4. The force-applying assembly 2 applies force to the prosthetic foot 4, which is fixed to the prosthetic foot connector assembly 3, thereby causing the prosthetic foot 4 to move. The pressure can be controlled by controlling the force-applying body 22. The coordination of the force-applying assembly 2, the prosthetic foot connector assembly 3, and the base 1 enables automatic, efficient, and rapid inspection of the prosthetic foot 4, resulting in high practicality and wide applicability.
